Compared with a few years ago, Wuxing City has not changed much, and the smoke in the sky seems to have missed this quiet place.

Although the city has not changed, the appearance of the people is different. Compared with the time when Zhao Yu returned home a few years ago, there were fewer people in Wu Xingcheng, and his face no longer saw the elegant and calm calmness of the land of Sanwu, and there was a trace of worry in the calm.

Shen Wansan is a firm in the world, and he does have some real skills. This group of nearly 300 people entered the city, and the city defenders just looked at it casually, and did not stay in trouble.

arranged everyone in Shen Wansan's manor in Wuxing, and Zhao Yu took Zhou Zhiruo to follow the old memories and go to his old house.

Zhou Zhiruo's face was slightly red, faintly a little apprehensive, she bowed her head and walked for a long time, and suddenly said: "Your family is an imperial noble, a scholarly family, will you not allow a woman like me to enter the house?"

Zhao Yu turned his head and comforted her with a smile: "What emperors and nobles, they are all deceitful, but they are just decent and ruined." My grandfather was from Shimengyuan, and most of them were forced out of the family by hunger and cold. In the future, when there is some fame in Shilin, everyone remembers that it is the original descendant of the late Song Emperor, how can there be so much attention. Besides, in this family, I am the most unruly, and now I am the famous demon lord in the rivers and lakes. How can you say that you are still a decent disciple, and don't you want my father to kick me out of the house?"

"How can it be the same?" Zhou Zhiruo was still a little uneasy, and said uneasily.

Zhao Yuyi grabbed her slender hand and said, "Don't worry! Speaking of which, my ancestor was Emperor Taizu in the previous dynasty, if he hadn't been the emperor, maybe my family would have become a martial arts family!"

The two talked all the way, and soon arrived outside the Zhao Mansion. The huge courtyard has not changed much, and even the door is vaguely familiar. There were many carts and horses parked in front of the door, and it seemed that there was some kind of party at home.

At this time, Zhao Yu's mood was also difficult to settle down, and he pulled Zhou Zhiruo to step up the stairs together.

At this time, Menzi came out and asked, "Are you two here to attend my eldest son's literary meeting?"

It was not the first time that Zhao Yu was blocked outside his own door, and he turned around and grimaced at Zhou Zhiruo, and then recalled it carefully, pointed at the door and smiled: "You are Zhao Bing, right?

Hearing the young man calling his name, the man stepped forward and looked at Zhao Yu carefully, his face changed from doubt to surprise, and he hesitated: "Are you ...... Third Young Master?"

Zhao Yu nodded, and then the man smiled, clapped his hands and said: "The old things from many years ago, the small memories are still fresh. In the past few years, the old master has planned to transfer the small one to the side, but the little one has not agreed, just waiting for the third young master to come home again......"

He chattered endlessly, and got carried away with joy, and only after a while did he come to his senses, turned his head and shouted into the courtyard: "The third young master is home......

Zhao Yu hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and said, "There are still guests at home, let's just enter the house quietly." ”

At that moment, he walked into the courtyard with Zhou Zhiruo.

When walking through the atrium, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo chanting in the courtyard on the left, Zhao Yu looked at that place, and saw that the scenery of the courtyard was very different from the last time he returned home. There were people in the courtyard who were crowded, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter and cheers, and there were even women in the middle.

Zhao Bing, the disciple who followed closely, explained: "That's the eldest young master's Dongshan Garden, and he often holds some literary meetings and invites Wendao friends to come to the party. The eldest young master is now in our Wuxing, and his literary name is very big!"

When Zhao Yu was a child, his eldest brother Zhao Qi had already started a family, and the two brothers had a big age difference and a loose relationship with each other. After hearing this, he just smiled and said: "Dongshan, this is to be more than Xie Anshi." My eldest brother is not very ambitious!"

Zhao Bing caught a glimpse of no one around, so he said in a low voice: "It costs a lot, and most of the money in the house is for the eldest young master......

Zhao Yu had already seen that the buildings in the house were quite dilapidated, and he was a little unhappy after hearing this. However, he didn't return home for a long time, and Fang Yi didn't have any room to say anything when he came back, so he just nodded after hearing the words and said, "Let's go see my father first." ”

After a cross-courtyard, Zhao Bing pointed to a study building and said, "The master is in the study building with the second young master on weekdays, and he usually doesn't dare to disturb." ”

Zhao Yu knew that his father had always had the idea of compiling the books in the family into a collection, so he turned his head and said to Zhao Bing: "You go and get busy, we can go over by ourselves." ”

Standing in front of the study building, Zhao Yu took a deep breath, and his mind was difficult to calm down. On the contrary, Zhou Zhiruo calmed down at this time, and stood behind him and gently rubbed his heart.

After a long time, Zhao Yu sighed, stepped forward and pushed open the door, and the smell of ink in the book rushed to his face.

"Is it Zhao Ding? It's still early, it's not time for dinner, what are you going to do?"

Before entering the door, Zhao Yu heard the voice of his second brother Zhao Lin, but he didn't see anyone after following the reputation, because he was blocked by a pile of books.

didn't hear the answer, Zhao Lin said to himself: "It's been raining a lot these days, there are many insects, and there are many sticks between the paper and ink, so we have to work harder to sort out this volume first." ”

"The disciple knew that someone had already gone home to report, and he stayed at the teacher's place tonight. ”

Another voice sounded in the building, and Zhao Yu thought for a while, only to remember that it was Li Muwen, who was obsessed with literature. After a while, Li Muwen said again: "We are short of manpower after all, and the rainy season is coming again." The disciple has already asked his family to buy good rue musk to repel insects, but there is no need to rush it for a while. ”

Zhao Lin sighed and said: "Other gentlemen have to provide food and lodging for students, but I am a gentleman who treats you badly......"

When Zhao Yu heard the conversation between the two, he realized that his family's situation was not as good as before. Think about it, it should be, there are no producers in the full range of scholars, and in recent years, natural disasters **, only Tanaka's tenant rent is afraid that it is also very meager.

He walked in as he thought about it, but unexpectedly knocked over a wooden frame, which fell to the ground with a heavy sound.

"Why are you so careless!" Zhao Lin complained, poked his head out from behind the books, but saw some strange Zhao Yu and Zhou Zhiruo, and his brows suddenly wrinkled: "Who are you?

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Second brother, it's me." I haven't seen you for years, and your temper is growing!"

When Zhao Lin heard this, he rushed up in three steps and two steps in two steps, almost in front of Zhao Yu, and looked at it seriously. He has been immersed in books for many years, and he has suffered from a serious eye disease. After a long time, he hesitated: "Are you San Lang or Zhao Yu?"

Zhao Yu nodded, gave him a slap in the chest, and scolded with a smile: "You nerd, you have forgotten how painful your broken ribs are, and even the fame of my hot hand Saburo?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lin recognized Zhao Yu, and he was overjoyed, and he also punched him and said astringently: "Good boy, there will be no news when you leave the house! Where have you been all these years? You haven't even brought back a message!

At this time, Li Muwen also rushed up, looked at Zhao Yu excitedly, and exclaimed, "Master!"

Zhao Yu nodded to Li Muwen, and then pulled the second brother and said, "Where's my father?"

Zhao Lin was silent, pointed to the door, and said, "I'm old and thirsty, so I've fallen asleep in the study." ”

He pulled Zhao Yu out of the study building, and then he saw Zhou Zhiruo, who was dressed as a Confucian next to Zhao Yu, and wondered: "This son is your friend?

Zhao Yu glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, who was blushing, and said with a smile: "It's not just a friend, it's a friend of life and death, and a close friend of Prime Minister Bai!"

Zhou Zhiruo heard Zhao Yu's joke and glared at him fiercely, before stepping forward and said, "Second brother is good." ””

Zhao Lin saw that the two of them looked intimate, not as simple as ordinary friends, his face stiffened, and then pulled Zhao Yu to the side, and reprimanded: "Where did you learn this bad problem! This Longyang broken sleeve quirk is the most shameful thing, you still bring people into the house in a grand manner, aren't you afraid of being angry and immortal dad?"

Zhao Yu didn't expect the second brother to have such a misunderstanding, so he quickly smiled bitterly and explained that Zhou Zhiruo was a daughter, Zhao Lin's face softened slightly, and then he said: "The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." It's not right for you to take the initiative to bring a woman into the house. But I've also heard a little about those things on the rivers and lakes. This girl is willing to go home with you, she should have made a promise, don't see any strange thoughts, and easily let down the friendship!"

Hearing the second brother's chattering admonition, Zhao Yu accepted it all, but he thought maliciously in his heart that if the second brother knew that he was still outside to give him a family affair, he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.

Now that he knew Zhou Zhiruo's identity, Zhao Lin asked his wife to receive Zhou Zhiruo, and he took Zhao Yu and Li Muwen to the front yard. He smiled maliciously: "The boss of our family has a deep grudge against you." Since ancient times, the eldest son has established a family, and the youngest son has kept a business. You pat your ass and leave the house, the eldest brother is proud of his journey but has to abandon the official and return home to guard his father, and when he sees you, he may not have a good look. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he also sneered at the moment and said: "I still have something to say to him, I am already an adult who is not confused, and I still learn how to do the young man's banquet What is the posture of a sour and rotten talent, but I don't know how to govern the family and keep the business." ”

Zhao Lin waved his hand and said: "Don't tell him this, he is now full of resentment and resentment, and he is more secluded than Dongshan." On weekdays, I make friends with some down-and-out literati and talk about masturbation. Now it's not yet dinner, so let's go to his feast and mix some water and wine to make a good meal. With outsiders present, he can't just embarrass you. ”

Zhao Yu didn't have the heart to join in the excitement, but seeing that the second brother was full of interest, it was not easy to dismiss his wishes, so he went all the way.

Li Muwen followed behind the two, and when Zhao Lin didn't notice it, he leaned into Zhao Yu's ear and whispered: "My father has also heard of the huge business that the master has done." It's just that I'm afraid that the boss and Mr. will be worried, so they haven't revealed it. ”

Zhao Yu nodded, thanked Li Muwen, and said, "I'm going to visit your father at your house later." (To be continued.) )
